galaxywest There are things that happen to an unfortunate few people that are so painful, so full of guilt, that recovering from it seems nearly impossible. "Till Human Voices Wake Us" tells the story of Sam Franks and his spiritual journey out of the dark and back into the light. But, who is the young woman that is helping him? Apparently, this movie did not impress very many critics. Why, I'm not sure--because it is truly a wonderful, nearly perfect story about salvation. And where that salvation actually comes from.I hope that Michaell Petroni will be able to make many more movies, because it would be a shame if such a talented and sensitive film maker were not able to continue.
joeestlinbm The beautiful Helena Bonham Carter as usual played her part to perfection.When I was young a girlfriend of mine drowned while we were swimming, so in a remote way I can relate to this movie.I of course never met the ghost of the girl that drowned, but I can relate to the feelings of the boy. This movie was rather a fantasy, and I was very impressed with Miss Carters performance. DR Franks seemed to have difficulty in believing she was who she was, So he hypnotized her to find out for sure, and he convinced himself I believe to an extent. The ending was a little disappointing, but it would have been hard to come up with another one I guess, so we'll have to be satisfied with this one. I watched the movie because Helena Bonham Carter was in it. You can watch it because it was a beautiful watchable movie.
andyslade Tiring, difficult to follow, arduous, unappealing. OK, so I missed the first few minutes but I think that was quite a good idea. It tries hard to be a somewhat arty presentation, but ends up being a collection of some nice cinematographic moments, spoiled by what I can best describe as unusual and overcooked acting and a laboured script in parts. In short, I'd give it a miss unless you want to bore yourself for an hour or two.Tiring, difficult to follow, arduous, unappealing.

suzannadavi I was reading some of the previous reviews and realized that not everyone would get or like this movie - it is not one I would recommend to many friends, but I loved it. Painful, real, acknowledging of life's moments to regret- it made me think of the line from the Big Kahuna when Danny Divito says you have lots to regret, you just don't know it yet (paraphrase) - another great non-action movie. I saw nothing of the paranormal in this movie - I think that is an interpretation by those who do not get it. Beautifully done and tenderly told, I heartily recommend this movie to a small handful of special people which included my 15 year old daughter.
